Britain's Political Parties Are Spending Millions on Voter Micro-Targeting

Facebook is going all in on Britain's General Election next month. Not content with purveying over some 31 million Brits politically squabbling among themselves in the run up to June 8, Facebook has now employed ex-political campaigners from the UK's political parties to help campaign, target, and subvert users on the platform.

This is according to The Guardian, to which Facebook confirmed it has employed staff "whose role it is to help politicians and governments make good use of Facebook".

Of course, Facebook's no stranger to political intervention. The social network played a pivotal part in 2016's Brexit campaign alongside the Trump vs Clinton battle in the US.

1 - FB is for those with a mental age that is not old enough to vote so any data is worhless2 - Advertising is OK including political, they do not have an agenda of their own, just who pays the bills3 - Nobody reads adverts on websites anyway
